Tangled in the ivy (another pia) making it even more fun.

You're all going to laugh but I only recently realised that the thing I've been calling 'mistletoe' all my life was actually goose grass or cleavers.
I was surprised. I've been referring to them by the wrong name for YEARS.

Got that in the garden too .
I won't laugh at you, though I bet you have never kissed under goosegrass!
His Nibs thinks the geraniums growing in the front weedpatch are gladioli. Keeps calling them gladioli even after I showed him a picture of gladioli. Dame Edna would be very cross.

It's raining, and the forecast says it won't stop for 24 hrs. Looks like lawn mowing will soon be back on the agenda...

Cut ours two weeks ago and only took half a grass box. This week, after the rain, two grass boxes. Rain has a lot to answer for

Rain stopped play this morning. Sunshine and warm this afternoon, but too wet to do any weeding. Have to tread a fine line between claggy and concrete with the clay we have.
Due to be seriously hot next week, but like so many things it's probably a case of jam tomorrow.

To be honest, I'm quite enjoying this rain. It's warm, and there's a refreshing feel to the air. We might go out for a rainy photo walk this weekend, don't know where yet, but the colours should be fantastic.
Best regards, John

The rain is very welcome yes. I'm just glad we don't live further south where they had nearly double the normal rainfall for all of June in 24 hours.

Since half of the Netherlands is below sea level and water flows downhill, why doesn't the below sea-level bit become a huge pond when it rains? :

That sums it up completely - had not the Dutch built all those dykes and pumping stations centuries ago then the Netherlands would not exist in the form it does today

K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

For pilots who are for the most part expecting to see their altimeters read a positive number above sea level, it must be quite novel to see it read at -10 feet when they are on the ground at Schipol.

I think they set them to (local) zero when taking off and landing and only revert to international sea level when flying?

Cloudy and cool here after overnight rain. More rain due on Thursday, so I might get some time off from ground elder hunting.
